Thank you May! You have been a wonderful month, with four Bank Holidays, an wonderful trip to London to see Hasi, kanuting in the Spreewald, watching the Final at the Fanmeile and receiving good news. I don’t even mind the amount of rain you came with. It has been a very nice month. I like you!

This is what you might see in the Tiergarten. A man and his piano. Guess this only happens in Berlin. FYI, he wasn’t even close the nearest street. Have to cycle there today, am curious about what I will see…

Wow! I am still psyched about yesterday. The film This Ain’t California is so sweet, cool, with smart and funny dialogues and makes you feel like a sixteen year old who wants to rule the world, who believes in being free. And the soundtrack is amazing. After the screening producer Michael Schöbel and actor Marco Sladek came to stage to answer questions and give some background info. Marco is one of the most famous DDR Skaters and participated at the Euroskate 88 in Prague. I asked him if he really was on that huge half pipe (yes he was!) and if he really dropped in (yes he did!). Later we caught them again on the street having a smoke and started chatting. When I told them I was from Barcelona, Michael explained how he brought La Fura dels Baus, a catalan theater company to Berlin and how they were all living at the Tacheless. Marco confirmed Barcelona as one of the best skating places and I was – with my wee bit of knowledge from my times back then – happy to agree. Can’t believe that 15 years after I have a wee crush on a skateboarder again. ¡Again!

I am going to the watch This Ain’t California at the Moviemento, the oldest cinema in Germany. The movie is about a group of skaters in the former DDR. I am so excited. I already wanted to watch it last year when it was released but instead I ended up seeing the one and only Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands for the 20th time. It was at the Rosengarten, the summer cinema in the Volkspark at the Weinberg, which was wonderful. Am sure tonight is going to be as good.

Despite the rain and cold yesterday I convinced a good friend of mine to go to the Fanmeile at Brandenburger Tor to watch the final of the Champions League between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern München. First German final in History. The rain did not bar the hard core people from joining the concerts and the screening. Look, Borussia Fans even coordinated their shoes!!

For me one of the main reasons to go was to see Jürgen Drews. It’s so not cool to like him but I confess that I do. He sang three songs (I would have liked a couple of more) and I was not ashamed to cheer, sing and dance.

Still raining and watching the game, people were in a good mood, even when Bayern scored the first goal. The penalty for Borussia gave hope and for a bit I thought we would win. Sadly Bayern scored the second one in the very last minutes… :(

After a night out with the girls I need some cuddles and TLC. Since I’m going to watch the Champions Final on the Fanmeile, where not much cuddles will be given, specially if Bayern should win, I will settle with these hearts I found on the floor while attending a wedding. Of course I picked them up and took them home.
